Not really sure wow did you check this? They either ARE still reinstalling or the reinstall failed somewhere and did not clear the lock. It's not a message popping out of the blue… ::)

I am having the same message. Been going on for three days.

A reboot solved my problem.

I had the same issue with the automatic upgrade from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 - I didn't notice anything in the general system log identifying a package install failure.
The reinstall packages did not immediately resolve the GUI popup. I rebooted after reinstalling packages, and the popup went away, so I don't know if it was the package reinstall or reboot that actually was required. -
Same thing for me on a 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 upgrade.
The upgrade took 6 hours! and now for the Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background, been running for 36 hours.
I will try the Diagnostics -> Backup/Restore -> Reinstall packages: method above -
Same here, I noticed a "clear package lock" button in that area:
Diagnostics -> Backup/Restore -> Reinstall packages
Then I noticed on the installed packages list that there were several packages that had available updates. So one of the packages isn't re-installing well. I just manually updated / reinstalled the packages that had updates in the pkg button.
